I’ve been feeling really off lately. I suffer from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and since I should be getting my period in the next 5-6 days I’m pretty certain that this is the reason why I’ve been so fatigued and depressed, on top of the normal PMS symptoms of cravings, feeling bloated and high blood sugars. Anyway, it obviously doesn’t help that we’re in the middle of the COVID-19 social distancing. The only positive thing about all of this is that I don’t have to constantly see what I’m missing out on every time I go on Facebook, because EVERYONE is going through this. Usually when I’m feeling so fatigued and unable to do much of anything except sleep, I’ll have to witness friends getting together, having fun with their kids/loved ones, going on vacations, etc.
I’m praying and thinking about every single person who is struggling right now, but especially those who suffer from various mental health issues and are having to go without therapy for the next month or so. The mind can play ugly tricks during times of high stress, so I can’t imagine what some people are experiencing at this moment.

First off I wanted to point out that Saturday’s post was put aside for one reason or another and I completely forgot to finish so I’m just putting today’s post with it.
This morning at 11am Gov. Whitmer issued the entire state of Michigan to stay-at-home. Only essential workers will continue to work, but even most of those workers will be limited/reduced. This will be issued through, at least, April 13. Many schools around the country have declared that they will be shut down for the remainder of the school year. What does that mean for our kids? Will they automatically move on to the next grade level if they’ve been doing well thus far or will there be tests that they will be made to take at some point to determine whether or not they will be able to pass their current grade? I’m not sure how to even feel about any of this right now. This is all happening so fast.
Here are some facts (mainly for myself and the boys to some day look back on and remember the COVID-19 crisis)
Global confirmed cases: 372,563
Total deaths: 16,381
Total recovered: 100,885
U.S. Confirmed Cases: 41,511
Total Deaths: 499
Unfortunately, there’s talk about how the worst of this virus is “just around the corner” and that doesn’t help the panic and hoarding people have been taking part in. I think I’ll end this post for today and once I can wrap my brain around everything that is happening right now a little better, then I will post again. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Stay HOME! We are in this TOGETHER! #AloneTogether #Unity #COVID19
Love and Hope,
